Every night nameless bodies land in Dr. Cristina Cattaneo’s autopsy room. She calls them Pure Unknown. They are homeless, prostitutes, runaway teenagers. Lately, they have mostly been migrants, rejected by the Mediterranean Sea onto the shores of Italy. If all rights belong to the living, nothing is left to the dead. So what happens when the dead have lost their identity? In the face of this growing multitude, no one seems concerned about their right to dignity. No one but Cristina.
Ogni notte nella sala autoptica della dottoressa Cristina Cattaneo arrivano corpi senza nome. Lei li chiama Sconosciuti Puri. Gli Sconosciuti Puri appartengono ai margini della società. Sono senzatetto, prostitute, adolescenti in fuga. Negli ultimi soprattutto migranti, naufraghi del Mar Mediterraneo. Se tutti i diritti appartengono ai vivi, nulla è lasciato ai morti. E cosa succede quando i morti hanno perso la loro identità? Di fronte a questa moltitudine crescente, nessuno sembra preoccuparsi del loro diritto alla dignità. Nessuno tranne Cristina.
